This paper explores the specificities of public procurement within the framework of a project financed by the EU fund, as well as the overall importance of public procurement within the framework of the European Union and the Member State. Public procurement rules have been taken over from the acquis communautaire, i.e. from the EU Strategic Framework in the field of public Procurement presented as an umbrella document by the Europe 2020 Strategy. The paper explains that through EU projects, beneficiaries obtained from EU funds buy the execution of services, supply of goods and execution of works, while complying with national laws, which are in line with the acquis communautaire. The main problem, besides irregularities during the implementation procedure of public procurement, i.e. the risk of “refund” of funds, is in fact the interpretation of the basic principles of public procurement prescribed by the EU Directives but not explained. Any recent case-law defines “new rules” which, in the end, besides public bodies, the private sector, may affect each individual in the European Union. The aim of this paper is to present the importance of public procurement as well as the implementation of the public procurement procedure itself, the importance of a good and quality team and strategic planning.
